Dear friends,

Baltimore-based filmmakers Joe Tropea and Skizz Cyzyk need your help to finish their upcoming film, Hit and Stay: the Ongoing Story of the Catonsville Nine, a historical documentary about the antiwar movement. The work-in-progress trailer for Hit and Stay can be viewed at http://kck.st/bzqD69

A fundraising campaign on Kickstarter (http://kck.st/bzqD69) is under way in which the directors hope to raise $20,000 to complete the film. The pledge drive runs through September 11, 2010—that’s this Saturday.

About Hit and Stay:

Hit and Stay is a feature-length documentary about the antiwar movement. It takes an in-depth look at the Vietnam War era activists who attacked the Selective Service system and attempted to throw a wrench into the U.S. war machine. Hit and Stay will be the definitive documentary about the Catonsville Nine and the actions that followed—the so-called Catholic Left, a group comprised of priests and nuns (and their friends) who destroyed draft records and raided the corporate offices of companies that profited from the war. This documentary tells their story in the activists own words using more archival footage and activists interviewed than any prior film. Including interviews with Dan and Phil Berrigan, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Bill Ayers, Kathy Kelly, Amy Goodman, and over 30 activists from draft board actions. Hit and Stay seeks to be a major conversation-starter about the antiwar movement (then and now).
